Hamburg Music School

This school is divided into two main parts; a public area (coffee area, lecture rooms, etc.) and the private area (classrooms, administration area), which are connected by a common entrance, that can also be used separately. The café opens to the yard and a 'park'. The teachers´room can be connected to this café. For functional and acoustical reasons, the classrooms are separated from the administration area on different floors. The administrative area is situated on the ground floor, with areas for information and public relations found close to the main entrance. The classrooms are on the first and second floor, in front of them there is a waiting zone 'between' the trees. A construction of a series of ramps and different staircases leads from the entrance hall to the auditorium on the first floor.This link from the entrance to the second floor allows for a ceromonious procession for guests and serves as the backdrop for public addresses.
